IMPROVEMENT IN MOLDING BOTTLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.V 178,819, dated June 13, 1876 application filed April 22, 1876. d

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT R. WEBER, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State oi' Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Molding Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference beinghad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this speeitication, and to the letters and iigures ot reference marked thereon. l

Figure 1 ofthe drawings is arepresentation of a transverse vertical section ot' my machine lor molding` bottles; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 is a plan view, of the mold. Fig. 4 is a side View of my machine for molding bottles; and Fig. 5 is a detail view thereof.

Ihe nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a machine for molding bottles and other like articles, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawings, A designates the bed of mysimproved machine supported by suitable legs or supports. Inthis bed is secured a hollow guide-mold, B, of about onehalt' the length of the bottle to be molded. lVithin this guide-tube mold is a movable plunger, C, attached to,'or formed on the upper end ot' a rod, a, thellower end or' which is connected to the inner endr of a treadle, D, arranged under the bed or table A, and having its fulcrum at :t in a part depending from the bed ofthe table A. rlhe plunger C should be ot' such diameter as to play freely in the guide-mold B. Over the guide-mold B on the table A rests the mold Gr`- G bisected vertically iu equal parts, the two parts being hinged together at one side, and provided on the other side by handles E Above the mold is a cylinder, H, which slides up and down upon guides I I by means of arms H'. This cylinder receives the air from any compressing or blowing apparatus through a branch pipe, b, and .discharges it at/ the bottom through a blower, d, which forms the noseor neck ot' the bottle. Through this nozzle passes freely a rod, e, to prevent the glass from closing the same, which would prevent the air from getting in in the process of forming the bottle. e'

The rod c extends up through a slotted tube, j', at the top of the cylinder H, and has a handle, J, attached toits upper end, said handle projecting through the slotin the tube. Dnring'the opera-tion of molding, the handle is pressed down and turned into a notch, y, in the tube f, thereby holding the rod e projected through the nozzle or blower d.

By unlocking the handle J a helical spring, h, around the tube f raises the said handle, and withdraws the rod e from the nozzle or blower el.

B, after which the cylinder H is lowered and the nozzle d is inserted into vthe mold G. A pressure ot' air is then brought to bear on the glass, 'which forces it into bottle shape, and the plunger U is then raised, which forces the glass up to give proper shape to the neck.

The glass is receivedv in the stationary mold B, and forced up into the mold G by the plunger C, which latter is worked by the foot applied on the treadle D, and may be regulated by a spring, a screw, or a weight.

Ihe bottle is blown by means of an airengine, thus dispensing with blowing from the lungs. 1 The entire bottle, including the neck or nose,is finished in this mold at one process of blowing.

Window-glass rollers may be `formed by the same process, using suitable molds for that purpose. 4

What I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- A l. The combination of the air-cylinder H, branehpipe b, removable base having the blower d, arms H H', and guides I I, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

forth, and provided with the blower d, in combination with the removable rod e, substantially as described, and for the purpose set fo/rth. l

The combination ot' the rod e, air-cylin- ,der H with nozzle d, the slotted and notched /tube f, handle J, and spring h, as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have of two witnesses. y ALBERT ROBERT WEBER.
